3/31- Say Goodbye to March by staying dry- what does April have in store?

Good Monday all! (And for baseball fans, Happy Opening Day!)

Today is going to be a tad less rainy than the past few, but still rather wet. Overnight, we came close to having a flash freeze, but never quite got there (Litchfield county did, however, and several schools are delayed in that area). As we move forward, another 1" of rain is possible and therefore the flood threat continues for another day or so. The rain today will taper off at around noon, leaving beautiful weather that should last until late Friday night, when another slow-moving nor'easter impacts New England with a significant rainstorm. As of now, Saturday looks like a drencher, with several more inches of rain. We'll just have to wait and see!

Today in weather history- March 31, 1962- Milton, Florida is hit by an F3 tornado that kills 17 people- the deadliest tornado in Florida history. Even though Florida sees a rather large number of tornadoes, they are generally weak and short-lived, so this is the exception to the rule
